While interviewing Market leaders about the total outages for our market the 12-month rolling outage is $49,398 due to misbalancing which could be overpaying money to the clients, or even shorting the clients when cashing their checks, or making payments. The leaders are trying to figure out ways to prevent these outages and support the tellers, the plan that they had come up with is placing the tellers who have an out greater than $500 is to place them on actions plans holding them accountable for their balancing which is good but creates additional problems and doesn’t stop these outages completely, it is a short-term fix for a long-term problem. Most of the teller at the bank are part of the millennial generation and are used to hearing good job! You did your best, you have next time. They are not used to being how to fix the problems or confronted when …show more content…
they do something wrong. While interviewing the tellers these action plans do not help them to feel supported, in-fact 9 out of the 10 tellers that I had interviewed shared that they feel additional anxiety because they are afraid of losing their jobs and see these action plans not fixing the problem. The other part of the problem is this would prevent the tellers from referring clients over to the bankers to help show the client convenient banking services like online banking, mobile banking, and other services that can help simplify the clients banking. I followed up with the tellers asking them if the bank were to bring in Teller cash recyclers (TCR) to the branch would this help eliminate the some of the anxiety they are feeling with these actions plans. The tellers had shared with me they would feel less anxiety, and be happy to work for a company that cares for the associates by offering these types of service. Five of the ten tellers that I had interviewed shared that they would be less likely to leave the company because they would see the company truly cars about the employees and their career development. Looking into how the bank can save money on these outages they can invest in the cash recyclers for each of the branches.
Each cash recycler new would cost the bank around $25,000 per machine ("RBG-200 - teller cash recycler." RBG-200 - teller cash recycler. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 Feb. 2017. ..) The initial cost upfront maybe greater than the annual 12 month rolling outage and this number is not calculating the overtime pay that the bank is paying the non-exempt employees. By adding TCR’s into the branch this will reduce the number of outages the bank is seeing improving the operations of the bank. The tellers want this type of innovation because it will help them with their jobs and improve the customer satisfaction by reducing the wait time on the teller line. When a teller sees a business client depending on the transaction that client is conducting can create a 5 minute wait time in the teller creating upset customer. By having the TCR all the teller has to do is drop the cash into the recycler and the machine sort and separates the cash for the client which would improve the overall satisfaction with the
bank. In addition to my findings on how the bank can stream line their operations and improve their efficiency to meet the expectation of the client. I had interview a couple clients in the millennial generation, and a couple of clients in the x generations, and baby boomers. Some of the finding I had found in millennial generation is these clients love self-servicing options and do not like to wait in the line, they have other things going on in their life and waiting is just inconvenient. They love being able to make deposits at the ATM and not come into the bank. In interviewing the millennial generation they had shared with me that they like technology and most will use the Starbucks application on their phone to place their orders and walk in and pick up their drinks without having to wait in line. They like this type of technology like being able to make their deposits using their mobiles phone to make their deposits either at home or work by taking a picture of the front and back of the check and click accept. This type of service is an expectation of the client. While interviewing the x generation they do not like self-service they are afraid it will take jobs away from the tellers and would rather wait in line. This generation seems to be more vocal and doesn’t like technology and don’t want to make the change or learn how to use their phones to make deposits. When asking why they shared technology is taking jobs away people and they don’t trust technology because it can make mistakes. Baby boomers I had found to be more acceptable to self-servicing option surprisingly. My initial thought was this generation would oppose this type of technology, yet they are more open to try new things. This generation wants someone to hold their hand and walk them through the steps to completing these types of transactions via self-service. When I asked them why they were more acceptable to this type of technology, the response I received was; “Banking has changed several times over the years and there is no point in fighting the change, change is part of life and they have other things to do with their life rather then waiting in line.”
At Wells Fargo, teamwork and sales are important skills needed in order to succeed as a teller. At Wells Fargo, I plan to incorporate a system where each teller gains the skills necessary so that each task runs efficiently. To begin, I will start observing each banker’s, and each teller’s normal routine. I will be listening carefully to the conversations the tellers, and bankers are having with customers. As an observer, I will be taking notes on what the employee’s strengths and weakness are when lobbying to a customer, and working with coworkers. I will continue this process for a week. Once the week is complete, I will have one on one meetings with each employee. After the employee’s one on one meeting is complete, a proposed course of
The banking industry is under pressure in today’s business climate. Banks have been through big changes. There is opportunity, but there is also increasing competition. To be the preferred bank means changing “good enough” into a unique value proposition. And that means changing the way people have always done things, change on this level requires cutting edge technology. Change cannot be achieved with a simple directive or surface adjustment especially within the banking industry. It requires an innovative rethink of the entire system, in a strong partnership between bank leaders and their change agents. New systems and policies must support the strategy to be successful. The real test of a good strategy implementation plan is whether the people understand the strategy, are motivated and enabled to implement it, and actually start achieving its goals.
...There’s nothing like a bad economy to get people confused about what their mission is. They start thinking their mission is to reduce cost. That’s a tactic, that’s not our mission,’ Kullman said. During informal weekly meetings with employees, Ms. Kullman was amazed that the “number one question was about whether we are going to stick with our mission.” She quickly realized that “people are scared and in dire need of direction.” Making sure that people understand the mission and linking their daily activities to the company’s broader purpose is essential to reducing fear, maintaining morale and keeping employees motivated, Kullman said.
He left school at age thirteen to start his training for work. In the winter of 1838 he started to work with Hough and Gilchrist Grocers and worked with them for a year. He later went to work for the Roswell and Willett Hinman and worked with them for three years. In 1841, he became a freight agent and later became vice president and director of the New York Central Railroad Company. Like Henry Wells, he was a very successful businessman, yet managed to have a family to support. Fargo married Anna Hurd Fargo in 1840 whom had eight children, Georgina, Alma, Sarah, William, Hannah, Mary. Helen, and Edwin. In 1862 he became the 27th Mayor of Buffalo, New York and retired in 1866. On August 3rd, 1881, after battling with illness for several months, William Fargo passed away. He was buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery with only two of his eight children living. Nine years later, his long loved wife, Anna Hurd had
The issue at Harrison-Keyes is the result of a lack of planning. While issues arose regarding vendors, the issues only pointed to Harrison-Keyes failure to truly grasp the necessity of building in contingency plans. The disaster of those around the company should never have an equally devastating impact on the company. While Harrison-Keyes has thought about contingency planning, their lack of solidifying plans is truly their biggest error.
Workers were curious about the financial statements and enjoyed the “brain food” courses. This is all what we like to call “fool’s gold” because problems began showing up at end of the year. Unfortunately, it turns out that many objectives were not met, lack of communication showed up, and employees began blaming one another.
In this case study it was stated that there were a problem happen in the outsourcing for the Royal Bank of Scotland. What happen was there were an error that happen during the routine software upgrade that cause million of that bank customer cant access to their account.

Managerial accountants need to use accounting information in seeing to it that they are able to plan, evaluate the company performance, manage risks and control the business operations in a manner that is deemed beneficial to the business as a whole (Caplan, n. d). This can be achieved through: having high standards of ethics in all situations; employing the techniques of management reports, budgetary control, and analysis of fund flows and financial statements; making prudent capital investment decisions; and maintaining continuous quality control systems.
I like to leave tips to my servers in cash so that they can the money right away. If a panic ever comes when there is a citywide blackout and there is no way to cash out money from the ATM it is good to have a backup. I think that we should not do away with cash yet. There is still a big population of older generations who are not computer savvy and could fall victims of identity theft because they don’t know how to catch spam or spyware right away. Our habits are changing on how we pay for things but we still need to have cash as an alternative maybe not print that much cash
Currently, the organization has encountered a shortfall of students registered for the semester. For example, most of demographics of our location has an aging population; therefore, this has caused our institution to market academic programs to other counties. This idea did not encourage much success due to a neighboring community college and the gaming industry deciding to train their own employees rather than have their employees pay a course fee. This factor along with financial constraints both from county and state levels has caused the institution to possibly consider layoffs if enrollment does not improve. Although the leader has openly communicated his plans of impending layoffs. This recent announcement as to the financial stability of the organization along with some reorganizational efforts has begun to cause a culture of fear among employees, who are fearful of losing their employment with the institution or being transferred to other
“Decision making is a process of first diverging to explore the possibilities and then converging on a solution(s). The Latin root of the word decision means "to cut off from all alternatives". This is what you should do when you decide.” (Kotelnikov, 2008). In fact, the decision making process helps reduce doubt and uncertainty about alternative choices to allow individual to choose the best reasonable choice. In addition, the decision making process can make the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful organization. Consequently, management tries to use the best techniques and tools possible to make the best decision. Nowadays, most organizations seem to think that they have the most effective and efficient decision making process. So what are the different styles of decision making processes have organizations implemented? In order to answer this question, the team members will investigate and observe the decision-making processes most prevalent in their organization. As a result, these papers will first compare and contrast the problem identification and formulation styles in the team members’ organizations. Then the most favorable aspects of each style will be discussed to describe a process by which a problem can be identified and described to stakeholders in a manner that is sensitive to their perspective.
Life is full of decisions. Some decisions are trivial. Should I choose paper or plastic at the grocery store? Which of the 31 flavors of ice cream should I pick? Other decisions are vital. Should I get married to her or should I take this new job? Your decisions may affect many people or only yourself. In this paper I will present a decision-making model. I will describe a decision that I made at work using this model and how critical thinking impacted that decision.
It is normal for some people to turn away when they see a challenge or a difficult task. Great leaders accept the challenge and see it as a learning tool for not only themselves but for their employees. During the recession, banks were slowing down. While people were still opening everyday checking and savings accounts, investments and loans were on the downward slope. Management had to think of ways of how to increase their numbers while still meeting the needs of the customers. This experience allowed team members to come together to think of ways to improve business. Employees were asked to “shop” around and see what rates were at other competitors. While all rates were down, it allowed some to stay on top on game with competitive rates. There will always been some sort of fear with change because the result is unknown (Shore & Kupferberg, 2014). Change can be viewed as scary but it allows leaders to transform the way things were done previously and get their employees involved in the
An employee does an unsatisfactory job on an assigned project. Explain the attribution process that this person's manager will use to form judgments about this employee's job performance.
Making decisions is an important part of our everyday life. Decisions define actions and lead to the achievement of goals. However, these depend on the effectiveness of the decision-making process. An effective decision is free from biases, uncertainties, and is deeply dependent on information and critical thinking. Poor decisions lead to the inability to achieve set objectives and could lead to losses, if finance is a factor. Therefore, it is important to contemplate about quality and ways to achieve it in decision-making, which is the focus of this paper. The purpose is to look into the needs of decision-making, including what one should do and what one should not do.
